ARCrypto is a private decentralized finance group teaching sophisticated capital how to borrow against crypto, tokenized equities, and stocks without forcing a sale or triggering a recognized disposal.

How can I borrow against my crypto?

On-chain lending markets and centralized providers extend USD or stablecoin loans against Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto collateral, typically at single-digit rates. ARCrypto teaches the structure, liquidation thresholds, and counsel-aware framework.

What is Buy, Borrow, Die?

Buy, Borrow, Die is a wealth-management strategy: buy long-term appreciating assets, borrow against them instead of selling, and pass them to heirs at a stepped-up basis. ARCrypto teaches the on-chain version of the same playbook.

Are these strategies tax-compliant?

ARCrypto describes mechanical features of certain on-chain operations that are not realization events under common interpretations of major-jurisdiction tax law. ARCrypto does not replace tax counsel.

Aave - ARCrypto

ARCIPEDIA · DEFI

Plain English

Aave is one of the largest DeFi lending protocols. Users deposit assets into Aave to earn yield from borrowers; borrowers deposit collateral and draw loans against it. Floating interest rates adjust algorithmically based on supply and demand.

How it actually works

To use Aave: connect a wallet, deposit any supported asset (ETH, stablecoins, wrapped Bitcoin, etc.), and receive an interest-bearing receipt token (aToken). To borrow, you supply collateral and draw up to a fixed loan-to-value ratio in any supported asset. If your collateral value drops past a threshold, the protocol liquidates part of it to repay the loan. All of this happens through smart contracts — no human intervention, no application.

What it means for you

For HNW members, Aave is one of the cleanest venues for crypto-collateralized borrowing. Floating rates, transparent on-chain mechanics, and battle-tested code over multiple market cycles.

How ARCrypto teaches this

Our Crypto-Collateralized Lending pillar walks through Aave specifically: collateral selection, LTV management, liquidation defense, and the practical operational protocols members use.
